Frailty screening in older patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery: Comparative study of seven screening instruments
Comparing the predictive value of the screening instruments showed that frailty screening cannot be used in isolation as risk predictor for adverse postoperative outcomes. Further research should focus on a two-step approach in which additional diagnosis of frailty by means of comprehensive geriatric assessment is included in the prediction model.
